Juan Solid performance, clutch whenever Monfils got break points. Now go all the way to the final

Monfils pulled out some absolutely incredible shots and entertained as usual, but he's not ready yet to challenge top players. I hope he's not discouraged, should ask for a wild card to Marseille and hopefully get a softer draw so he can keep building up his ranking and avoid terrible draws like this one.

It was all about Delpo being more steady although Monfils was generally the aggressor and more flashy player.

Eeek. Thought there would be more discussion about Monfils ranking. It's starting to look very very very bat as nadal would say.

actually Monfils, Nalbandian, Hewitt and Blake are at the moment very near from each other in the rankings, but everybody knows they're worth better than that.

Yes Monfils is younger but everybody knows he got there because of injury.

Besides, Monfils suffers from the stupid rule that Del Po had to suffer 2 years ago which is that a commitment player who hasn't been able to play any ATP500 tournament during a year because of injury has to suffer 4 zeropointers in his rankings. That's also the reason why he doesn't go to Indian Wells and probably to Miami either (for precisions see here : http://www.menstennisforums.com/show...8&postcount=11 )
